That shook the My Music X team into action and yesterday they revealed ‘Harlem’ inventor Baauer would be bopping into Dubai for their three-day festival at Atlantis, The Palm.

His viral video has been re-created more than 12,000 times online and two versions have had more than 100 million views between them.

Shakers in the UAE must submit their own “funky” ‘Harlem Shake’ dance videos on the My Music X website for a chance to perform on stage wearing the ‘Harlem Shake’ helmet when Baauer hits the decks in front of festival goers on March 28.

A statement from festival organisers said: “The winner will meet Baauer, and perform their winning moves.”

That was music to the ears of UAE ‘Harlem Shake’ fans.

“I will definitely send in my video,” said Mudassir Syed, a 19-year-old student at the University of Wollongong in Dubai, who made his ‘Harlem Shake’ video [5]mid-air.

“I was bored on a flight back to Dubai so I decided to film my own version on the plane,” Syed said, adding that he had to be quick so the cabin crew wouldn’t catch him at it.
